Britain’s Got Talent: Issy Simpson SOBS hysterically as she gets through to the finals with fellow magician Matt Edwards

For the last few weeks, hundreds of performers have tried to impress judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, David Walliams and Alesha Dixon in the hope of getting a place in Britain’s Got Talent’s finals.

On Saturday night, the judging panel had the tough decision of whittling down the huge amount of auditonees to just 40 acts.

And across five days – which started on Monday, the acts will perform their hearts out in a bid to earn themselves a place in Sunday’s grand final.

On Monday night, the live results show revealed that the first two acts going through were singer, Kyle Tomlinson, and magicians, DNA.

While this evening, the next to finalists were determined by the public’s vote.

After a tense stand off, Ant and Dec revealed that magicians Issy Simpson and Matt Edwards would be making it through to the finals.

However, things got a bit too much for 8-year-old Issy who started crying – even before he name was called – and sobbed hysterically after the results came through.

In fact, so much so, that she had to be comforted by Ant who sweetly said: “What you crying for?

“Let’s get those tears, wipe them away!”

Viewers were quick to sympathise with the youngster and share their joy that she had got through.
